Lutathera in People With Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP), Bronchial or Unknown Primary Neuroendocrine Tumors That Have Spread to the Liver

NCT04544098

Description:

This study will look at whether it is practical and safe to give Lutathera directly into an artery of the liver (hepatic intraarterial infusion). The researchers will compare the effects of hepatic intraarterial infusion in the liver with the effects of the standard approach (intravenous infusion in the arm). The researchers will also determine whether Lutathera is effective against participants' cancer.

Purpose

This study will look at whether it is practical and safe to give Lutathera directly into an artery of the liver (hepatic intraarterial infusion). The researchers will compare the effects of hepatic intraarterial infusion in the liver with the effects of the standard approach (intravenous infusion in the arm).

PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATEExperimentalPatients will undergo a routine 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. Patients with sufficient tumor uptake will be offered therapy with 177Lu-DOTATATE. The treatment regimen will consist of four administrations of 177Lu-DOTATATE-two intra-arterial followed by two intravenous, two months apart (+/- 2 weeks), with renal protective amino acid solution co-administration.
